Illustrious Family and Birth

Taajush Shariah, Hadrat Allama Mufti Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Azhari al-Qaadiri, son ofMufassir-e-Azam, Hadrat Maulana Ibrahim Raza Khan (radi Allahu anhu), son of Hujjatul Islam,Hadrat Maulana Haamid Raza Khan (radi Allahu anhu), son of Imam-e-Ahle Sunnah, Mujaddid-e-

Deen-o-Millat, Ash Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan (radi Allahu anhu) was born on the 25th of Safar1942, in the district of Saudagran with in the city of Bareilly Shareef, India.

The name given during his Aqeeqah was ?Mohammed.? He was also given the name ?Ismail Raza.?However, the name by which he is famously known is ?Akhtar Raza.?

When he reached the tender age of 4 years, 4 months, 4 days, his respected father, Hadrat MaulanaIbrahim Raza (radi Allahu anhu), who was a great Islamic Scholar of his age, arranged for his

?Bismillah Kwaani? (Commencement of Islamic Studies). His eminent maternal grandfather, Ghousul

Waqt, Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind, Hadrat Maulana Shah Mustapha Raza Khan Noori (radi Allahu anhu) ,performed the traditional ?Bismillah Kwaani?. All the students of the famous Darul Uloom ManzareIslam, which was originally built by Sayyiduna A?la Hadrat, were invited to this auspicious function.

Early Education

His mother, who is the blessed and pious daughter ofHuzoor Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (radi Allahu anhu),

showed great concern for his study as she was certain that he would be the Khalifah (Spiritual


2/30

Successor), ofHuzoor Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (radi Allahu anhu).

Peer-o-Murshid, Hadrat Allama Akhtar Raza Khan Qibla gained his basic Islamic education within hisblessed home and he completed the basic recitation and study of the Holy Quran under the guidanceof his respected mother. He then studied further under the guidance of his most respected father.

Having completed his basic studies at home, Hadrat Maulana Ibrahim Raza Khan (radi Allahu anhu)enrolled him in Darul Uloom Manzare Islam in Bareilly Shareef. Here, under the guidance of renowned

teachers, he studied many books, commencing with the basics such as, ?Mizaan?, ?Munsha?ib?,?Nohmeer? and proceeding to much more advanced books such as ?Hidaya Akhirain,?etc.

Education at the Al Azhar University

In 1963, at the age 21, he was sent to Cairo in Egypt to study at the famous Al Azhar University. He

studied Tafseer of the Holy Quran and Ahadith for 3 years at this Islamic University. It has beenstated that even as a child, he was very intelligent, a person of great wisdom and possessed an

excellent memory. While studying at the Al Azhar University, teachers and students were surprised

when he conversed with them in superior Arabic. When he spoke to them, they would often look

stunned at his mastery over the Arabic language.

The examinations conducted at Al Azhar University are mostly done in writing, however the generalknowledge sections are tested orally. It is stated that when the students were asked general

knowledge questions by the examiner, none of them were able to answer these questions. The

examiner used to then direct these questions to Taajush Shariah, Hadrat Allama Mufti MohammedAkhtar Raza Khan Azhari al-Qaadiri. He used to reply to each question in such an intelligent manner

that it often surprised the examiner. When the examiner questioned him on how he managed toanswer intricate questions on the topic of Ilm-e-Kalam (Knowledge of Imaan), even though he was

only studying Ahadith and the principles of Ahadith, he used to reply ?I studied this subject while Iwas still a student at Darul Uloom Manzare Islam.?

He also used to achieve first position during every examination. His studies continued at the Al AzharUniversity and he began achieving more success in the academic field as the days passed. He

achieved the distinction of being one of the best foreign students to have studied at Al AzharUniversity.

Even till this day, ex-students of the Al Azhar University still remember him in this fashion.

In one famous monthly magazine, this distinction was echoed in the following words: ?The grandson

of Huzoor Hujjatul Islam, Maulana Haamid Raza Khan and the son of Jilani Mia, Hadrat Ibrahim Raza

Khan graduated with a B.A. degree in Arabic in a most worthy and excellent manner. HIS EMINENCEDID NOT ONLY COME FIRST WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE AL AZHAR UNIVERSITY, BUT ALSO

FIRST IN THE WHOLE OF CAIRO. May Allah grant him more success, make him worthy of

propagation, and may be known as the true Successor of A?la Hadrat .?Ameen.

Upon graduating from the Al Azhar University, Hadrat Allama Akhtar Raza Khan Azhari was awarded

the ?Jamia Azhar Award?by Colonel Jamaal Abdul Nassir. He was also presented with a Certificate ofMerit in the field of Ahadith. After graduating and receiving the Al Azhar Award, he returned home tocontinue his Islamic mission.

A photocopy of the Certificate in Arabic awarded to his Eminence at Al Azhar University has been

presented. This Certificate was awarded to him in his faculties of Ahadith and the Principles of


3/30

Ahadith. Please bear in mind that because the certificate is nearly 30 years old, the writing is a littlefaded.

His Eminence Returns Home

He returned home when he was 24 years old and three years later. And, of course, being anxious ofhis well being, a large crowd awaited him at the railway station. They gave him a very warmwelcome. An article describing his return to Bareilly Shareef was written by Mr. Umeed Razvi. It was

printed in the ?Monthly A?la Hadrat?magazine. It was printed in the December issue under the title,?GREAT WELCOME.? The article reads as follows:

?A beautifully coloured and scented rose from the garden of A?la Hadrat, his Eminence, MaulanaAkhtar Raza Khan, the son of Hadrat Mufassir-e-Azam Hind, Maulana Ibrahim Raza Khan arrived inBareilly Shareef after a lengthy stay at the Al Azhar University. He has arrived in Bareilly Shareef

after completing his studies at the Al Azhar University in Cairo.

?He was welcomed at the Bareilly Junction Railway Station by many well-wishers, friends, families,

great Ulama and students of Madressa Manzare Islam. Under the spiritual supervision of Huzoor

Sarkaar Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind, they all welcomed him. They showed his Eminence a great deal oflove, respect and adorned him with garlands prepared from colourful flowers.

?This organization congratulates Maulana Akhtar Raza Khan and his relatives on such a success. We

pray that Almighty Allah with the Wasila of the Prophet make him the true Successor of his

forefathers, especially of A?la Hadrat, Imam-e-Ahle Sunnah, Mujaddid-e-Deen-o-Millat, Imam AhmedRaza Khan.?Ameen.

would be Jilani Mia (the father of his Eminence), on the conditions of knowledge and practice. It is

His Eminence, Hadrat Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind is reported to have said the following words concerning

In 1968, his eldest brother, Hadrat Maulana Rehaan Raza Khan, offered him the post of Principalshipof Darul Uloom Manzare Islam which he humbly accepted. He was also appointed at the same timesas the Head Mufti of the institute. The service continued for the next 12 years. He supervised the

Later on, due to his wide travels around the world for propagation purposes, he began to give private

tuition of the Holy Quran and many students came from far and wide.

In 1986 and 1987, he performed the blessed completion of the Sahih Bukhaari Shareef at Jamia

Islamia Ganj Qadim in Rampur. In the beginning of 1987, he again commenced the teaching of SahihBukhaari Shareef at Madressa Farooqiya and again in 1988, he taught the Sahih Bukhaari Shareef atJamia Amjadia, Karachi. Later in that year, he also taught ?Shaya Waqqaya? (a famous book on

Hadrat Maulana Mufti Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Azhari also has an excellent command of theEnglish language.

The Issuing Of Fatawa (Legal Islamic Rulings)

This service to humanity has always been a feature of the family of Sayyiduna A?la Hadrat. If weexamine the details listed below, we will gain an insight as to the lengthy period in which this servicewas upheld by this August Family.

1. 1831 to1865 - Hadrat Maulana Raza Ali Khan (radi Allahu anhu).2. 1869 to 1921 ? A?la Hadrat, Ash Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan (radi Allahu anhu)3. 1895 to 1942 ? Hadrat Maulana Haamid Raza Khan (radi Allahu anhu).4. 1910 to 1981 ? Maulana Mustapha Raza Khan (radi Allahu anhu).

One can see by the above that this service has been offered to the world community for the past 163years. Continuing in this vein, his Eminence continues to answer questions pertaining to various

issues relating to Islam and the world.

He has continued this since when he was only 17 years old and under the spiritual guidance ofGhous-ul-Waqt, Huzoor Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (radi Allahu anhu) and Maulana Muhammad Afzal

Hussain Razvi. Due to the tremendous work load and inquiries received from all parts of the world,many other Islamic scholars work under the direct supervision of Taajush Shariah to fulfill this greatneed.

It is recorded that Huzoor Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind, Maulana Mustapha Raza Khan (radi Allahu anhu)once spoke the following words to his Eminence:

?Akhtar Mia! There is no time to sit at home. It is for you to take care of this task, therefore, I am

handing it over to you.? The great Saint then turned to those present and declared, ?ALL OF YOUSHOULD NOW TURN TO AKHTAR MIA. HE IS NOW MY SUCCESSOR.?

Taajush Shariah personally states the following: ?I had Already joined the Spiritual Order Of Huzoor

Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind during childhood. On my return from Jamia Azhar and due to preference, Ibecame involved in presenting Fatawa. At the early stages, I performed this duty under the

supervision of Mufti -e-Azam-e-Hind (radi Allahu anhu) to show him my work. After sometime, I

became more inclined towards this task and continuously presented myself before Huzoor Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (radi Allahu anhu). In a very short period and due to the Spiritual Benediction of Huzoor


6/30

Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (radi Allahu anhu), I achieved immense benefit in this faculty.?

For the past 30 years, his Eminence has continued this task entrusted upon him by great Spiritualluminaries. His Islamic verdicts are recognized and accepted throughout the world. As a point inpassing, the Islamic verdicts issued by Taajush Shariah to date stands at nearly 5 000, enough to fillmany volumes.

Titles Bestowed Upon Taajush Shariah

On the 18th of August 1984, he arrived at a place called Junagardh for a gathering organized by

Bazme Raza at the Junagardh Masjid. There were many Ulama present at this function wherein his

Eminence received the title of?Taajul Islam?(Crown of Islam). This title was also confirmed by Mufti-e-Gujrat, Mufti Ahmed Mia Sahib. Hadrat was also given the title of ?Faqih Islam? (The Jurist ofIslam) by Sheikh-ul-Hadith, Maulana Mufti Sayed Shaahid Ali Razvi Rampuri.

He was also given the title of?Taajush Shariat? (Crown of Shariah) And ?Marja?i Ulama.?Besides

this, he has also received many other titles around the world bestowed upon him by eminent Scholarsof Islam.

Pilgrimage To Mecca

In September 1983, he performed his first Hajj and in 1986, he performed his second Hajj. He is alsobeen blessed with performing many Umrah.

Arrested by The Saudi GovernmentOn the 13th of September 1986, a massive protest occurred against the Saudi regime in Bombay. The

reason for this was that thousands of Muslims were informed that His Eminence has been imprisonedin Saudi Arabia.

This protest was held under the leadership of Sheikh-ul-Hadith, Hadrat Allama Zia-ul-Mustapha AlQaderi Amjadi. Nearly 50 000 people took part in this procession which included many Imams, Ulamaand renowned Islamic leaders. The protesters displayed great anger and showered much scorn on theSaudi Government.

As a result of this protest and others which took place, his Eminence was finally released by the Saudi

Mischief makers.

Upon arrival in India, he gave a personal account of what had happened to him in Saudi Arabia and

spoke about how he was deprived of visiting Medina Shareef. His PERSONAL ACCOUNT is as follows:

?On the evening of the 31st of August 1986, at approximately 3 0?clock, a C.I.D. accompanied by

uniformed police officers arrived at my hotel room and without warning searched for my passport.They then demanded to search my luggage. I then requested my wife who was in Purdah to go into

the bathroom. A revolver was then pointed at me and I was not asked to move. They then begansearching my luggage. I had in possession at that moment, a few books presented to me by MaulanaSayed Alawi Maliki and a few books of A?la Hadrat. I also had a copy of the Dalaa?ilul KhairaatShareef. They confiscated these books and requested a diary which I did not possess. They then

confiscated our passports and tickets.?

?The same night I was questioned on various issues. The first question pertained to where I hadperformed the Jummah Salaah. I replied that I was a traveler and that Jummah Salaah was not Fardhupon me, I therefore had performed Zohr in my house.

?They asked me if I had ever read Salaah in the Haram Shareef. I replied that since I was staying adistance from the Haram, I only went there to perform the Tawaaf.

?They then questioned me on the books of Maulana Sayed Alawi Maliki and as to how I had received

them. I told them that the great Scholar had presented them to me a few days ago when I went tovisit him.?

?After looking through a few books of A?la Hadrat, which pertained to the reading of Naath andvarious laws of Hajj, they questioned me about my relationship to A?la Hadrat. I told them that hewas my paternal grandfather.

?At the end of this session in which the entire night had passed, they then placed me in a cell at the

time of Fajr Salaah.?

?The same day at about 10 0?clock, I was again questioned by the C.I.D. about the various sectsfound in India. I explained that among the various sects were the Shi?a and the Qadianis. I alsopointed out to him that A?la Hadrat had opposed the Qadiani sect and various other corrupt sects andin opposing them he had written many books.?

?I then revealed to him that there is a trend to call us Bareilwis. By this, one conceives a notion that

the Bareilwis are a new sect. I revealed that this was not so and that in reality we were really thetrue Ahle Sunnah Wa Jamaah. I explained that A?la Hadrat did not lay the foundation of a new sect.

His teachings were based on the religion of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, the Ashaab, the Tabi?eenand the pious people of the past and that we preferred being called the Ahle Sunnah Wa Jamaah.?

?I then explained to him the difference between the Sunni and the heretic Wahabi. I explained that

the Wahabi disbelieves that the Holy Prophet Muhammad possesses Knowledge of the Unseen (asgiven to him by the Almighty); they do not believe that he will intercede for the creation and theyconsider it Shirk to ask the Holy Prophet or any Saint for assistance.?

?I then explained that we Sunnis believe that the Prophet will intercede and that it is permissible tocall to him and to believe in him as a Mediator. We believe that he hears our speech by Allah?s Graceand he certainly possesses the Knowledge of the Unseen by the Grace of the Almighty.?

?I then proceeded to present many Quranic proofs and various authentic sources substantiating thebeliefs of the Ahle Sunnah Wa Jamaah.?

?On the second day, he presented a typed report of a statement which read, ?I, Akhtar Raza, the son

of Ibrahim Raza is a follower of the Bareilly religion.? I furiously objected to this and again remindedhim that Bareilly is not a religion and if there was such a new religion then I was certainly not partand parcel of it.?

?Further on, he had written: ?I am a follower of Imam Ahmed Raza. Our belief is that we accept theProphet mediations, help, and we further believe that to call for his assistance is permissible. We

believe that the Prophet possesses the Knowledge of the Unseen even though the Wahabis refers tosuch acts as Shirk. It is for this reason that I do not perform Salaah behind them.?


8/30

?Thereafter, in various different methods, I was asked basically the same question. I was questionedabout the journey to London and asked whether I had attended any conference there. I mentionedthat a conference is held on the command of the Government and on the height of politics. I told him

that we are neither politicians, nor do we have contact with any Government. The main theme of theconference was the unity of the Muslims and the issue of Muslim Personal Law. The entire cost of thisConference was borne by the Sunni Muslims of London. I mentioned that a request was presented at

the Conference whereby it would be possible for a Sunni to be nominated in the Muslim World as theNadwis are given unfair advantage. I further mentioned that this resolution was unanimouslyaccepted and the law passed.?

?At that moment, one of the senior CID?s approached me and uttered, ?I must admit that I respectyou for your age and knowledge, and perhaps in better circumstances I would have requested you to

make Dua for me.? When I questioned him about the reason I was arrested, he did not reply

adequately but merely mentioned that, it was he who had requested the police to remove myhandcuffs.?

?They deliberately delayed my release without prosecuting me, and in the process deprived me fromvisiting Madinah Shareef. After 11 days. I was transported to Jeddah in handcuffs till until we reached

the airport. They did not even allow me to perform the Zohr Salaah on the journey and I had to makethis Salaah Qazah.?

Saudi Government Issues Special VisaWe have seen that the illegitimate Saudi Government had arrested his Eminence without any

reasons. He was imprisoned for 11 days and the punishment was that he was not even allowed tovisit Madinah Shareef.

It is due to this tyrannical behavior that thousands of Sunni Muslims throughout the world feltenraged and hurt. It gave birth to many protest marches and numerous news agencies had a field

day reporting the incident.

At the end of this sacrifice, King Fahad had to grudgingly make the following statement, ?MUSLIMS

FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE WILL BE ALLOWED TO MAKE IBAADAH ON THEIR WAY IN SAUDIARABIA.?

This demonstration continued and the World Islamic Mission representatives in London severelyreplied to King Fahad and his brother, Turki ibn Abdul Aziz, concerning the controversial Wahabi

beliefs. Hadrat Allama Arshadul Qadri also presented a memorandum in Arabic to the Ambassador ofSaudi Arabia.

With the result, that on the 21st of May 1987, his Eminence received a call from the Saudi Embassy in

Delhi with this message: ?The Government of Saudi Arabia has decided to present you with a special

Visa so that you may perform the Umrah and may visit Medina Shareef. This special visa is valid forone month.?

On the 27th of May 1987, when Taajush Shariah arrived to perform these duties, he was met by aSaudi Ambassador was shown great courtesy and respect. After 16 days he returned to India and waswarmly welcomed by a huge crowd both the Delhi and Bombay stations.

Inviting To Islam

Hadrat has traveled far and wide to help strengthen the faith of the weak Muslims haveaccepted Islam at his blessed hands. From among them, we have presented theexperiences of a few.

FIRST INCIDENT: Muslim Razvi, previously known as Riyawar, was a vey young boy andlived in Jabalpur.

He left home and had no place to go to. It so happened that he met a group of Sadhus whoinvited him to live with them. His entire life as a teenager was spent in there company.

From among his friends, one of them was a Muslim. They used to be classmates when

Muslim Razvi was still very young. It was from this friend that he heard about Islam. Afterliving with this Sadhus for such a lengthy period, he still did not feel that he had achievedmuch peace, with the result he began studying books on Islam.

When he asked about his acceptance in Islam, Muslim Razvi replied, ?I felt true peace after

reading these books and I therefore decided to accept Islam. I then went to BareillyShareef. There I saw a person whose face shone like the moon. When I asked who he was,

I was told that it was his Eminence. After looking at his bright face, I became even more

confident. I then asked his permission to recite the Kalima and then officially accepted the


11/30

pure Religion of Islam.?

SECOND INCIDENT: Muhammad Ahsan Razvi was first known as George Stephen. He livedin the city of Punjab and was a staunch Roman Catholic. By occupation, he was a RomanCatholic teacher and a famous preacher. He was unlike any other Christian. He was so

proficient in his job that he was also given the task of making a comparison between the

Holy Quran and the Bible so that he could put error in the Holy Quran. He was also amaster in the Urdu language and well versed in the Arabic and Persian languages.

At present, Muhammad Ahsan Razvi is a very good reciter of the Holy Quran. He acceptedIslam and became a Mureed of His Eminence in 1986.

After accepting Islam, he stayed a while with his Eminence, under his guidance. He beganfasting, performing his Salaah and learning more about the Deen of Islam.

It is to be noted that he found the address of Bareilly Shareef while he was scanning

through the pages of ?Fatawa Razvia ? Vol. 7.? When he arrived in Bareilly Shareef he

admitted that he had already studied the Wahabi, Deobandi and Shi?ite sects, and had

arrived at the conclusion that the true Islam was being been preached in Bareilly Shareef?to accept Islam.

He admits that before accepting Islam his mind was in a total state of confusion for at least

6 months. He often believed that the Bible which he was teaching was not the true and real

Bible. He knew that Muhammad was mentioned in the true Bible. And that this originalBible had described the Holy Prophet as a Mercy for the worlds that he was the FinalMessenger.

THIRD INCIDENT: In 1988, Muhammad Ahsan Razvi?s wife, daughter and two sons also

accepted Islam. His wife?s former name of Sandra Masih was changed to Maryam Khatoon.

Peter and Moses, his two sons, were named Muhammad and Mahmood Hassan Razvi,

respectively. Their daughter, Rosina, was named Qhanis Fathima.

FOURTH INCIDENT: It is reported that a teenage girl named Ustai, used to live among

ignorant Hindus. She was about 20 years old and on the 29 th of September 1989, she cameto Bareilly Shareef and accepted Islam at the hands of his Eminence. She also became his

Mureed. She admits that she was never forced to accept Islam and that she firmly believedthat Islam was the purest of all religions.

FIFTH INCIDENT: In 1989, a Hindu from Rai Bareilly also accepted Islam and has given an

account on why he did so. He said: His father had died. According to the Hindu religion theyoungest or eldest son had to burn the father?s body and also hit the body with a Bamboo

pole. he took on this responsibility and hit his father?s head with the pole. He suddenly

realized how wrong this was and immediately knew that Islam was the true religion.

That night, as he slept, he dreamt that he saw himself in a new Masjid. He then sees an

elderly and bright-faced person in the Masjid. The person is saying to him, ?Son! Recite theKalima.?He says that he then recited the Kalima in his dream.

One day he decided to go to Bareilly Shareef. As he entered the district, he eyes fell on hisEminence. So shocked he became that he began screaming, ?I saw this pious man in adream and he asked me to recite the Kalima.?He immediately accepted Islam at the hands

His Personality Is Based On Shari'ah And Taqwa

Almighty Allah has blessed his Eminence with exceptionally good qualities. His actionsdisplay his immense love for the Sunnah of the Beloved Prophet. One needs to be in hiscompany to witness this.

As Huzoor Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (radi Allahu anhu), his Eminence has always displayed

discomfort for those who do not have proper beards and who were gordy westernized

clothes. Like Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (radi Allahu anhu) he also shows great displeasure

towards those who wear ties. This is not aimed at the wearer of this Tie, but rather at theinstitution of the Tie.

When adorning clothes or putting his shoes, he is very conscious of not violating theSunnah. He loves using I'tar and great care is taken when putting on his Amamah

(Turban). He always sits and eats on the floor and follows the Sunnah meticulously. Heevens follows the Sunnah of taking a pinch of salt before eating.

Whenever he sits in a Meelad-un-Nabi or Mehfil-e-Zikr, he always sits with utmost respectuntil the very end. He displays great emotions when a Naath Shareef is being read. He

always makes certain that the person reading the Naath Shareef uses proper words and is

ever ready to correct the reciter. When visiting the Mazaar Shareef, he sits with humble

submission and respect. While travelling, he continuously recites the Naath Shareef wheneveryone is silent.

He shows great respect for the Ulama and always gives them preference over others. He

respects the Sayeds, (Family of the Holy Prophet - sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in a

manner as a slave respects his King. He always makes Sayeds sit close to him, even if theyare Ulama present. If a Sayed sat on the floor and he became aware of it, he wouldimmediately sit on the floor very afraid of showing disrespect.


20/30

He prohibits Muslims from keeping un - Islamic names. He has advised such names asAbdullah, Abdur Rahmaan, Muhammad and Ahmad. He dislikes using the name ?Rahmaan?for a person. He has said that since this is one of the Beautiful Names of Allah, we should

use the persons full name ??Abdur Rahmaan.?

His entire life has been spent making Jihad against the enemies of Islam such as the

Deobandis, Wahabis, Maududis, Ibn Taimiyya, Qadianism, or Najdism. He has alwayspropagated the truth found in the Ahle Sunnah Wa Jamaah. And with his advice, he hashelped protect the Imaan of not only the Muslims of India, but of Muslims throughout the

world.

He has attacked the enemies of Islam throughout his writings and his actions. He has done

everything in his capacity to challenge the enemies of Islam. He has always paid specialconcern to those Sunnis who he felt were being misled and always made it his duty toshow them the true path of the Ahle Sunnah Wa Jamaah.

He has always performed his Salaah in Jamaah whether he was on a journey or not. When

performing Wudhu, he washes all the parts thoroughly so that the Sunnah is performed.

He always advises those who are performing their Salaah to fasten their top buttons, to

read their Salaah with long sleeve shirts and remove their Ties. He also advises the malesto wear their shirts out of their pants when performing Salaah. He also stresses on theperformance of correct actions within Salaah. He never perform Salaah using the mike

system and strongly disapproves of this.

Presently one is saddened to see certain so-called Peers, Faqeers and Aalims, who claim tofollow the Shari'ah, but are surrounded by women. His Eminence strongly disapproves of

this total lack of Purdah. He disapproves of males sitting in the midst of females and neversits alone with females.

He also strongly disapproves of women sitting inside Mazaars without any Purdah.

Hadrat also strongly disapproves of video-taping and insists that the video recorders be

turned off. He does not enter a Mehfil where video-taping is being done. He also does notlike Muslims watching television. In this regard, Hadrat has written a book proving that the

use of the video and television is not permissible in Islam. Hadrat does not approve ofMuslims keeping photograph.

Compromises with any person is never allowed in Islam. Although facing arrest and being

locked p in a prison cell in a country that was known for its humans right violations, heaccepted his fate, yet never compromised with the authorities in matters concerningShari'ah. His verdicts are based on Shari'ah and never to please any person of group.

We make Humble Dua the Almighty Allah, through the Wasila of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and through the Sadaqah and Wasila of Imam-e-Ahle

Sunnah, Ash Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan and Ghousul Waqt, Huzoor Mufti?e-Azam-e-Hind, Maulana Mustapha Raza Khan Noori Barakaati (radi Allahu anhu) grants his

Eminence long life, good health and the strength to continue serving the Ahle Sunnah WaJamaah and to serve as an inspiration to the sincere seekers of truth. Ameen.
